The Show Goes On

Lyrics

La-ser

Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!

Have you ever had the feelingThat you was being hadDon't that shit that make you madThey treat you like a slave, With chains all on your soul,And put whips up on your back,They be lying through they teethHope you slip up off your pathI don't switch up I just laughPut my kicks up on they deskUnaffected by they threats Than get busy on they assSee that's how that Chi-Town made meThat's how my daddy raised meThat glittering may not be gold, Don't let nobody play meIf you are my homeboy, You never have to pay meGo on and put your hands up, When times are hard you stand upL-U-P the man, 'cause a brand that the fans trustSo even if they ban us They'll never slow my plans up!

Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, When they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, When they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!

One in the air for the people that ain't hereTwo in the air for the father that's thereThree in the air for the kids in the ghettoFour for the kids who don't wanna be thereNone for the niggas trying to hold them backFive in the air for the teacher not scared to tell those kids that's living in the ghetto That the niggas holdin' back that the world is theirs!Yeah yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boyTerrified of the worldNow I'm on a world tourI will give up everything, Even start a world warFor these ghettos girls and boys I'm rapping round' the world for!Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour,Oakland out to AucklandGaza Strip to Detroit, Say hip-hop only destroyTell em' look at me, boy!I hope your son don't have a gun and never be a D-boy

Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, When they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, When they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!

So no matter what you been throughNo matter what you intoNo matter what you see when you look outside your windowBrown grass or green grassPicket fence or barbed wireNever ever put them downYou just lift your arms higherRaise 'em 'til your arms tiredLet em' know you're thereThat you struggling and survivin' That you gonna persevere yeah, Ain't no body leavin', No body goin' homeEven if they turn the lights out the show is goin' on!

Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, When they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!Alright, already the show goes onAll night, till the morning we dream so longAnybody ever wonder, When they would see the sun upJust remember when you come upThe show goes on!
